Marcin Olak Trio – guess who’s back!

I know, we’ve had a long break. I mean long, Crossing Borders was out in 2012 – damn, 12 years? Well, I needed it. Anyway, now I ready to play that jazz thing again, some new songs, new attitude.

We played some new tunes in Chrzęsne, really cool place for music. With Maciek Szczyciński on bass and Michał Bryndal on drums.

On the YT you can see our full set. And the interview with me – sorry, it’s in Polish. But it’s kind of funny, and automatic translation can make it even more funny, I thinkAnd here are some pics, courtesy of Chrzęsne Palace, hope U enjoy.

Guitar Summit @ Ad Libitum

It’s happening. I’ll play at the Ad Libitum festival, during Guitar Summit, at Warsaw’s Pardon To Tu. I was invited together with great guitarists & improvisers: Paweł Doskocz, Hubert Kostkiewicz, Michał Dymny, Łukasz Marciniak. Looks like party!

More information TBA, stay tuned.

Broken Songs @ La Boheme

Think I’ll do it again. Gonna sing my bloody songs. With a little help from my friends, Mikołaj Miki Wielecki on percussions and Andrzej Kupniewski playing prepared harmonicas. Will you come?

Marcin Olak. M. Broken Songs Live.

Music for the Three Kings

This Saturday I’m playing in a duo at Podziemia Kamedulskie (pretty cool, underground venue in Warsaw, PL) with the phenomenal viola da gamba player, Justyna Rekść-Raubo. Mainly original compositions inspired by early music, mostly mine. Some collective impro stuff… Just come and listen. And please, check up Justyna’s recordings and performances, she’s divine!

Non-Existent Movies @ Project Cafe (WAW, PL)

Another solo improvised set is coming. Underground thing, as usual. Project Cafe is a small venue located in Warsaw, kind of art gallery. They’re opened minded and willing to listen to some experimental stuff, so here I go.

Come, listen & enjoy the music if you’re nearby.

It might get loud…

Today @ 8:00 PM I’m gonna play with Jack Saint some dirty, rockin’ underground sounds. I’ll sing two songs of my own, then I’ll join the Saints for some their stuff. Come to the Pogłos (WAW, PL) to hear us screamin’ f****n loud, sounds like a plan?

Music Therapy

Something went wrong. Terribly wrong. The plague, Russian aggression against Ukraine, all that pain and suffering…

No, I’m not able to heal it. But I can play guitar. And I will play some peaceful notes at Skład Butelek on 29.04, 8:00 PM. Music Therapy Sessions are dedicated to those who are tired, unsure, lost. Come and have some rest. Yes, you can buy tickets at the door, but if you are a refugee or a volunteer helping refugees you don’t have to pay me anything.

Marcin Olak Solo/Music Therapy, 29.04, 20:00 @ Skład Butelek (11 Listopada 22, WAW). Tickets 15PLN
